The OOM-killer has nothing to do with the virtual space for processes.
The OOM-killer is about physical page starvation in the kernel.
A process will instead find mmap() returning NULL or attempts to
increase the heap via brk() failing.
Neither of these events should result in any effect on the kernel;
the process on the other hand may make an illegal access and be
given a segfault.
